The Met Line Journal

The life and times of a small man called Min, his daily journey's from Rayners Lane to Farringdon.

This blog is an insight into the wonderful world of the Met Line, packed into chunky bites of random thoughts, the weird and the wonderful sites I see on my journey to and from work, and the odd comedy gag...

Read it and weep (with laughter)...

Got anything new to report? - Min's MinIT Update. Wednesday 19th March 2014

Well hello hello! Yes, I know it's not Friday, or even Monday but just to keep everyone on their toes (who came up with that phrase...ballet dancers?) thought I'd do a blog today as left home super early and managed to get a seat on the tube.

Thanks so much for the blog views last week. I had a look at the view count and we are nearly at the 15,000 mark! Happy days!!

Most of the talk for the last week has been about the lost plane and all the conspiracy theories are  coming out. Yesterday, this bloke on the radio reckoned that the aliens had taken them.
This did get me thinking and I actually wrote an email to the US department of Defence last night. Just thinking that rather than them spending $1bn a pop on those triangle stealth bomber things which have that dynamic shape and non metallic paint to avoid being seen on radar, had they thought about just turning off their transponder?....

Ok, it may be 7:09 but the tube is full. Everyone is looking a bit sleepy and the chap next to me is reading about the chap who won £108m on the Euromillions this week. He's a mechanic and said he would be buying a sports car. Brilliant, thanks for that...

Now this week's app is super duper and it's called Battery. It's really good and helps keep your iphone battery in top nick. The two main functions I love apart from telling you how many seconds your battery will last, are the accelerate function, which closes down memory that isn't in use and has a lovely speed dial animation, and the 'remove junk files' function. I didn't know I would get so much satisfaction at removing 133mb of cache stuff but it's the next best thing to having a wash...It's free and Min marks out of 10 would be 9.33

There is a man opposite reading a book. Yes you heard that right..no wires or anything. It's called 'Confessions of an Economic Hit Man' by John Perkins. He's on page 146 so hopefully he's got past the bit that happened in 2008...

At Baker Street and a very posh man has got on and sat next to me. Pin stripe suit, shiny shoes and perfect hair. Err hello there sir, this is the met line, not the Central line, we have a reputation to maintain. Now he has taken out his iPad mini (which as you would expect has a lovely leather smelling cover) so let's see what he does next. Will he be opening up the FT or Guardian app. Will it be some kind of spread betting app.... Err nope, he's opened up Candy Crush! Oh ok , you can stay on the Met line posh man...

A final thought to leave you with.  If Pistorius is found innocent I don't think anyone will risk throwing him a surprise party...

Ok, that's your lot! See you all again soon and have a great sleep!

  1. To give him the benefit of doubt : he might have been interested in the upcoming IPO of the game maker and could thus have been collecting information on their product on the way home...

    a good excuse I am sure!
